...Comet disasters cost Britain upwards of $30 million. Another plane-the Bristol Brabazon-was designed to carry 100 passengers nonstop across the Atlantic, but it turned into a Rube Goldberg nightmare. Four other big airliners-the Armstrong Whitworth Apollo turboprop, the Handley Page Hermes, the Avro Tudor and the $6.4 million Vickers 1000-also had little success and were scrapped...
...worst: the crash of a C124 Globemaster near Tokyo in 1953, killing 129 U.S. servicemen. In 1952, another C124 fell in the state of Washington, killing 87. In 1950, a British commercial Avro Tudor V, carrying Welsh rugby fans home from Dublin, crashed at Cardiff, killing...

She shaved some of her hair off for this role, but even so great a sacrifice was in vain. The Virgin Queen is strictly corn of the realm...
Biggest laugh-getter was Judgment of Paris* by British Choreographer Anthony Tudor, which turned Greek mythology's trio of goddesses into three aging Parisian filles of dubious joie, vying for the favor of a sleepy potential customer (Tudor). Famed Choreographer Agnes de Mille, who danced the part first in 1938, turned up as Venus in droopy net stockings, ruffled corselet and a blonde wig suggesting Gorgeous George playing Lady Godiva.

Filmed in color (with English narration) under the auspices of France's Ministry of Defense, Heartbreak tells the story of the famed French battalion in Korea. The soldiers of the battalion are the cast, the actual 1952 battleground is the setting. The director and a cameraman were wounded by Communist fire while filming it. Not since John Huston's San Pietro (1945) has a film shown in the U.S. come so close to capturing the painful reality of foxhole...
